🟢 $150 Yamaha 1986 MOTO 4 Wheeler PT2... is this to much work?

One issue after another but we have our new carb and air filter which we get installed.

[@crowgirl1326]

Thank goodness you are mechanically inclined and able to do your own repairs. This rebuild is a fun experience for your son. I'm happy to see Snowflake is on the mend and sporting himself to the ladies. He's back in the game.

[@SunnySlopeHomestead]

Oh he’s back to his old strutting self lol thanks

[@chelemichele1524]

The past year has been a dark cloud for me...lol Hoping your dark cloud has moved away from you and snowflake! Have a wonderful day 🌻🌻🌻

[@SunnySlopeHomestead]

Yeah I need to buck up and not be a crybaby about things so minor lol hope you year gets better 👍✊

[@mariesplace9547]

You and Snowflake have had a unfortunate week. Next week will be smooth sailing! 🤗

[@SunnySlopeHomestead]

For sure , he’s back to his old self and I will to

[@nathanhartswick9955]

[@SunnySlopeHomestead]

🤷‍♂️ people and youtube I guess lol

[@stephaniewilliams1410]

With your positive attitude and good sense of humor, you’ll bounce right back. Sorry you’ve had trouble though, hate those speed bumps in life. But it sure does make us appreciate the good stuff!

[@SunnySlopeHomestead]

Oh I plan it for sure , just never been hit with so many speed bumps lol it was gonna happen eventually

[@cherylwilliams81]

Hope you have a better week this week!💕

[@SunnySlopeHomestead]

Thank you Cheryl

[@AlsHomestead]

Let’s hope lol thank you

I have a 1987 350cc Moto 4. It was well cared for by the previous...and first owner. All I would need to do to make it look brand new is repainting the cargo racks and doing the heat gun trick to the plastic.

[@lindatremblay2445]

I'm late, but over from ,H.H. Farm, You look somewhat live Kevin. Like your video. From FREDERICKSBURG, VIRGINIA. LIVE IN STAFFORD, County. A lot of Civil war places. We used to have a lot of woods, but now, We have Big ass homes in every hole, farms are gone, it's sad for the old folks, but time marches on. Ninety percent of the new homeowners are great.& love all the young people, and they are very hard working , and have to go to Washington, D.C. every day. Bumper to bumper , Am, & Pm,.It's crazy. God Bless.

[@SunnySlopeHomestead]

Yeah we have a lot of that going on here and it will never stop. Civil War stuff I love and you’re lucky to live a such rich historic area I’m jealous lol

[@dxstxrb9517]

I have a 1985 yamaha moto 4 200 I bought it when I was 12 (I’m 18 now) for $325 all the money I put in it is a carb rebuild and it’s been more reliable than my hunting rig and all my dirt bikes not once have I had a problem with it. The old Yamahas have almost bullet proof engines, I also bought a 1986 yamaha xt350 for $200 not running been sitting for 5-10 years all I did was rebuild the carb and it’s running. But I’m putting more money to fix it up and bring it back to life

[@SunnySlopeHomestead]

Best bit because these days people want to much for junk and the new stuff you have to wait 6 months to have it come in 👍👍👍👋

[@tanyaterrible5976]

This was fantastic to watch. I just bought one, mine was in near-mint condition. Watching your four videos however taught me loads. I still don't understand how the foot-shifter thing works but great set of videos!

[@SunnySlopeHomestead]

Lol you’re not alone I can’t figure out the reverse at all and I’m not sure it’s not broke 😆

[@gen1canamoutlander705]

If reverse isn’t one click down from neutral than it will be half a click up I think a lot of them are different it might also be something else idk

[@joerutkowsky3261]

For your rims on your truck. When you go to put it back on sand the back of the rim where it contacts the steel and put antiseze on it. And you won’t have an issue again.

[@dgmenace73]

Great video!! I just bought an 89 model in about same condition. It had a bad cdi and needs a major cleaning. I will have to go thru carb or buy one. Glad the parts are not hard to find. I hope it ran good for a while!

[@SunnySlopeHomestead]

It did and the only reason I sold it was it was to much for my son to handle

[@robertfalkjacobsen]

4:40 the hole is factory, it's supposed to have a tube going to the frame right in front of the air box. The inlet is under the gas tank 👌

[@WayneWatson1]

Yes, know those weeks very well bud. Hope things go better for you. Didn't get a notification on the video and was wondering about you and saw this video. That's crazy, never saw a tire get stuck on a vehicle that bad. When it did, it was just the center hub. Glad to read that snowflake is back to his old self. My week has been mending this 2nd burn with blisters that were the size of a golf ball. Now that the burn is fading, looks like maybe infection setting in. Don't go tubing down the river for 4 hours and forget to put on sunblock. Not fun, especially being diabetic and lower legs. So cheer up mate 😁😁 Be safe, be good, God bless

[@SunnySlopeHomestead]

😳Oh man that sounds like a horrible sunburn , I don’t feel so bad now ... hope you feel better bud

[@nikkpregent3191]

You can also use a propane torch on oxidized plastic to it works pretty good I did it on mine

[@SunnySlopeHomestead]

I seen that and I used a heat gun on some worked pretty good

[@im-that-guy-pal]

The first yfm200 didn't have shocks. I have a 1984 yfm 200 so I'm certain that's not the first moto4 yamaha produced. The easiest way to tell a 1984 model is the front rack has a square opening and shallow basket design in the front. And the lack of suspension. Me and my kids rebuilt the engine and carburetor. Runs like it just came off the factory floor. It's to bad my nefew smashed it into a telephone pole and bent the frame ( he wasn't hurt) but it has never been rode since. Still runs great for a lawn ornament.

[@SunnySlopeHomestead]

Oh man how did he manage that lol glad he’s ok

[@mikeshobbiesandrandomstuff]

Shindy carburetor kits are the best for these old Japanese beauties.😁

[@SunnySlopeHomestead]

Good to know , there so much crap out there you never know

[@mikeshobbiesandrandomstuff]

@@SunnySlopeHomestead they are a OEM Japanese company.

[@4godliv]

No offense at all, but it looks like an alien monster right now, lol. So excited to see you resurrect it to a lean, mean ATV machine. Can you do jeeps? Love the T-shirt too. I learned a valuable lesson first time I saw my son beat on his car-was tire/caliber/brake thing and he and friends just wailing on it. Man toys aren't like woman toys, which generally need tender care, man toys are built with metal generally and sometimes require hammering or crowbar work.

[@SunnySlopeHomestead]

It’s a hot mess for sure and is more like an onion I just keep pulling back more layers of stuff needing fixed . I’d love to do a Jeep ... I used to own a 1943 Willy’s but sold it years ago , didn’t know what I had 😞

[@PaullaWells]

Such is luck. Ugh. But, you are making a bit of progress anyway. Good job!

[@SunnySlopeHomestead]

It is lol but bright side is I get to make a video or two more from the delay

[@PaullaWells]

@@SunnySlopeHomestead - Lol, true that!

[@TinyDucks]

The cheap Chinese replacement parts are garbage. Your better off rebuilding the original. Yes I've had lots of those weeks in the past. I try to stay positive as it's the only way to go life. Cheers have a great week

[@SunnySlopeHomestead]

Oh it’s been one of those weeks and I know better than to let it get to me since there always someone who is having a harder time. Yes they are junk and I plan on rebuilding the old one for sure , thanks

[@808pathfinder]

at 8:30 you were trying to take off a rim off your truck,little trick how i do it is i sit down on the ground and use both my feet to kick it lose ,i kick it just off set exp. 1 foot will hit just before the other does n works for me all the time

[@SunnySlopeHomestead]

I will try that next time but these dang wheels are crazy right . They came from the dealer new on the trick but man I think it’s something more . Thanks for the idea 👍👍👍👍

[@sagetree-tl8xh]

The rebuild kit you buy for cheap the parts fit but they are different and dont work as good as the genuine mikuni kit the emultion tube what the main jet fits in to is longer causing it to be to close to the bottom the jet is not as fine and also the pilot jet The mikuni kit cost more but is way more responsive

[@aydenc1126]

What is the carb tipe so I can by one I have the same atv

[@small_game_hunters4052]

Good content best of luck but you should just get a whole new wiring harness

[@mattmonteith9782]

No need to rebuild just a deep cleaning

[@SunnySlopeHomestead]

Oh she was a wreak

[@VRDinger]

I think all your struggles started with the jorts. I could be wrong but .........

[@spookyzooki1985]

Just got one of these four wheelers and trying to figure out where the factory battery location is? Someone has welded a tray on the back of mine and does not seem right....

[@SunnySlopeHomestead]

Mine was on the back left side

[@tinadouglas2838]

He's strutting . Looks like he was a cool rooster. Again, I'm sorry.

[@SunnySlopeHomestead]

Lol he was ✊✊✊

[@Smalltechguy]

I have those days everyday that I get into something. I’ve seen that issue on quite a few trucks. The center hole just grabs on that drum...grrrr as far as your project ATV is going...yeah wiring schematic are a nite mare unless you are an expert unlike me. My brain is burning each day finding issues on why this new starter relay doesn’t punch the coil...

[@SunnySlopeHomestead]

Yeah ever time with those rims , it’s bear to get off 🤦‍♂️

[@MidwestHippie84]

Where did you get the LED headlights? Do you have a link? Did you have to modify anything to get them to fit? Do high and low beam work with them?

[@SunnySlopeHomestead]

I don’t recall but they were cheap Nite led off Amazon .. no mods just drilled a mounting hole and wired in

[@farmergirlangie3469]

Does it have a fuel filter that should be changed also?

[@SunnySlopeHomestead]

Not yet but it will and in fact you just made me remember I didn’t get that with my air filter order , thanks lol

[@farmergirlangie3469]

@@SunnySlopeHomestead it is like having over a thousand back seat mechanics watching you. LOL

[@TheMrSwilley]

New to your channel, love your videos, any chance you can point out the vin number, I just got a moto 4and have no clue what year it is.

[@SunnySlopeHomestead]

Sorry Garrett I sold that four wheeler off last year.

[@TheImpossibleco]

i just got one for free but i don't know where to start its a 1985 moto 4 I think, its missing the carburetor not sure what else it needs other than that

[@SunnySlopeHomestead]

Start with a battery , new carb and air filter with a oil change but be sure to pull the screens to clean them for the oil. 👍👍👍

[@adamchatten8516]

How much work was it to take all the plastics off I have a feeling I need to do this to change my ignition coil out I have no spark and it’s not the plugs

[@SunnySlopeHomestead]

Not bad at all , the front bumper guard was a pain but only because it was bent up

[@michaelsain5619]

hey, any chance you could reply the link for the carb rebuild kit, I know it's a while since you posted this. but I'm having trouble finding the right kit

[@SunnySlopeHomestead]

Same here so I just purchased a cheap China carburetor to get by ,sorry but I’ll look and see what I can find to help you out

[@brandonsimonaitis7691]

How did you put the throttle cable In the carburetor

[@SunnySlopeHomestead]

I had to take the old parts from the old carb and use them in the new carb as the new one wasn’t the same exactly

[@nikkpregent3191]

I have the 1985 and the 1986 what do u search for parts?

[@SunnySlopeHomestead]

Amazon and eBay is all I used

[@iwantosavemoney]

Why buy a carb if it was running I don’t get it

[@SunnySlopeHomestead]

It was leaking gas and corroded pretty bad. Rebuild kits cost as much as a new carb so for the sake of getting it going it was just easier

[@mattmonteith9782]

U know u could have clean it out .its not hard to do i can teach u how send it me i clean it for u. It will start on one pull.
